Abstract

An imaging device having a photosensitive region (10) in which a plurality of pixels (11mn) are two-dimensionally arrayed, comprising an image detection unit (50) consisting of a first photosensitive portion (12mn) and a second photosensitive portion (13mn) in which each pixel (11mn) produces outputs according the intensity of each incident light, for reading outputs from the first photosensitive portion (12mn) and detecting images based on the outputs, and luminance profile detection units (20, 30) for reading outputs from the second photosensitive portion and detecting luminance profiles in first and second directions in the two-dimension array based on the outputs, whereby it is possible to detect images, as well as detect a light-incident two-dimension position.
